Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some students of knowledge say that matters of 'aqidah are based solely on revelation, and there is no disagreement in them except if the Companions disagreed. Is his exception correct?
Answer:
This is a false statement. And as for the one who said it, let him show me who said it from among those who said it. He says, "They say now that this is from their own opinion, and they have not preceded anyone to it." He does not provide us with a transmission from the Salaf that they said this statement. Whether he brings a statement from his own opinion or from those like him, this is not considered. Yes.
